I'm really not happy with my limp here, and I think a raise-fold to MP2's original limp would have been a better play. I think shoving at this stage is marginal, although when I look at ICMizer (based on what I put MP2's limping range at, and reasonable overcall ranges) it seems it would be an ok play.
So assuming I don't shove, post-flop becomes my concern... if I open it for say 350, and get called by a later position, I think I trap myself a bit stack-wise for post-flop play if I miss the board completely. (i.e. forced to play fit or fold).
Is it too nitty to fold the ATo then pre-flop... ? I don't know why, but this hand is hurting my brain...
